Void Evolution System

Damien's body rushed through the Black Demon Lightning zone with fervor. He instantly spread his domain into the surroundings and infused it with Void Mana.

The Mirror Domain was no longer what it used to be. During the battle of the unnamed world, Damien thoroughly integrated his new law-suppressing ability into its structure. Not only that…

An iridescent blue river shimmering with starlight materialized above Damien's head. This river was only a few feet long at the moment, but it already emanated a powerful aura surpassing the Mirror Domain.

This improved domain was modeled after the Space-Time River Damien saw at the start of its journey. To this day, it was the most mysterious force he'd ever encountered, seemingly containing the truths of the universe.

Under the influence of its replica, the surrounding Black Demon Lightning was slowed as if it was flowing through molasses. Atop this effect, the unruly lightning was endlessly diverted through the twisting spatial pockets and sent away from Damien's body.

His figure rapidly approached the ongoing battle in these favorable conditions. He felt the heat of the collision on his face. Powerful waves of mana impacted his body without pause as if warning him of the battle's dangers.

But this only served to make him more excited. His adventures in Niflheim were filled with people either too much stronger or too much weaker than him. Finding a battle that matched his level was his greatest wish at the moment.

Mirage entered his right hand and Hel entered his left. He teleported behind the Demonic Lightning Snake, sending three shots through Hel's barrel into its head!

Roar!

The Demonic Lightning Snake roared in pain as the cohesion of its figure was disturbed. In the end, it was an avatar made of lightning with no true physical body. Damien's spatial abilities were deadly to it.

Its red eyes glowed with hatred. Unlike Atticus, Damien already put a wound on it, making him its target!

The snake twisted its body impossibly and opened its jaw wide, threatening to swallow Damien whole. Its figure curled in the air and its mouth snapped down on his body!

Damien dodged to the side, but the lightning snake's fangs still managed to pierce his left arm. Rampant lightning currents entered Damien's body and ran wild like a pack of raging bulls. However, with Void Mana coating his internals, there was no way Damien would be injured by this small amount of lightning.

Just as Damien prepared to counterattack, a different flash of lightning appeared from behind the snake. Atticus appeared atop its head with his spear raised high, thrusting it into the snake soon after! Gold and black lightning danced together in the sky as their mana collided, blowing everything apart!

Damien flashed away from the blast radius just in time, staring at the wild lightning storm in the distance. A wide grin spread on his face.

"Good!"

His body rushed forward again, paving through the lightning sea and diving into the storm. There, he clearly saw Atticus' figure wrestling the Demonic Lightning Snake. Considering the snake's size, it was quite the comical sight. But Damien didn't have time to be amused.

The Demonic Lightning Snake was truly angry now. Not only had its rest been disturbed and its battle been interfered with, but now it was being ganged up on by mere humans! It couldn't accept this!

It wasn't a true avatar, but it was a being formed by thousands of strands of Black Demon Lightning merging into one. It was something of an artificial consciousness for the surrounding space.

In its domain, how could it let itself be beaten so easily?

RUMBLE!

Space trembled in fear. The menacing aura of Black Demon Lightning covered everything, forcing Damien to strengthen his domain for protection.

BOOM!

The first strike was aimed at Atticus, who was closer to the lightning snake. Sensing the force of the attack, he rapidly retreated and covered himself in mana. He coated his spear in powerful mana and swung out with incredible force, meeting the lightning head-on!

Bang!

A dull sound rang out as his spear met the lightning. For a single second, he managed to hold off against its force, but this stalemate didn't last long. The lightning bolt split into dozens of strands, coursing through Atticus' metal spear and entering his body to wreak havoc!

Atticus wildly revolved this mana to defend, and at this time, another bolt of lightning struck!

The target of this attack was Damien. He only just returned to battle, but he'd already been targeted!

Still, there was a large difference between Damien and Atticus. It wasn't a matter of skill or power, but inherent traits. The Void Physique would always be Damien's greatest advantage.

Damien met the oncoming lightning bolt with Mirage. Fluctuations of the Void Sword Art scattered around as he utilized Bladeless to banish a portion of the lightning to the void. At the same time, the Space-Time River sent out waves of powerful suppression that took away around 30% of the lightning bolt's power!

When it finally collided against his body, it wasn't anything Transcendent Regeneration couldn't handle. But Damien wasn't done after deflecting the bolt. He turned to the Demonic Lightning Snake and raised Mirage into the air, bringing it down for a clean forward slash!

'Void Sword Art Fifth Form: Dimensional Severance'

The world seemed to turn grey as all things came to a stop. A thin black line turned the dimension in two, then four, then six, continuing until it split into countless fragments. The Demonic Lightning Snake's body was torn into pieces and separated along with these fragments.

But Damien's eyes remained focused. While the Demonic Lightning Snake was a frightening manifestation, its true body was…

RUMBLE!

The Black Demon Lightning Sea below burst forth with madness, creating multiple tsunamis that covered the heavens with their reach! All around Damien, the sea furiously churned, Black Demon Lightning exiting it to strike him at every turn!

Every bolt of Black Demon Lightning was instant death even to someone at the early 4th class range. Even with Damien's powerful body, enduring too many strikes from this lightning would inevitably kill him!

His face turned dignified when he realized this. While he expected backlash, he didn't expect it to be so fierce. His mana raged through the air, doing its utmost to suppress the incoming lightning.

Mirage vanished from Damien's hand, replaced by Freya. The Twin Moons acted as one, guiding Damien's mana and letting off a torrential downpour of mana bullets!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The guns fired multiple shots per second, each laced with Damien's unique mana. While these guns showed great power when he first used them, they couldn't be compared to right now.

After all, the current Twin Moons were utilizing Void Mana.

The spread of Void Mana caused the spread of law suppression and devouring force. Due to the influence of Damien's laws, space and time were especially affected.

The Black Demon Lightning Sea churned below and space churned above. As Damien took control over the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers, he brought his hand down and used space itself to battle the ferocious lightning sea!
